drop sets/super sets

right now i am trying to cut off only a bit of fat but still gain muscle. i am eating a clean bulk but doing cardio after my workout. for my goal, what r your thoughts on doing drop sets or super sets during my workout? ive been doing them the past week and i wake up extremely sore.

i agree...i love supersets...when doing them i like to make sure i'm supersetting muscles in different ways...for example i won't superset flat barbell bench press with flatdumbell bench press but i may superset flat barbell bench press with incline flys...or a front delt raise superset with rear delt lateral raise

what benefits do u guys see from supersets? strength? mass? BF decrease? im new to this

Endurance, bf decrease, arms pumped full of blood they look as if they're going to explode.

I wouldn't superset for mass or strength, unless you are doing slooooow supersets with alternating body parts.

I may do weighted dips, rest a minute, barbell curls, rest a minute, back to dips. That way between each set of dips there's a couple minutes rest, and same for bb curls. So technically it's still supersetting but without the increased heart rate, and I can still hit the rep range I want with the weight I want.

Like chubbin said- arms pumped full of blood. Before NO products came out there were only drop sets. I use them whether I'm cutting or trying to bulk. If you're cutting you should be doing high reps anyways, and if you're doing thee 6-8 range, a good drop set on the last exercise for each muscle group really torches the muscle, gets it pumped, and primes it for growth.
IMO
I've always used them and always will!

It requires more muscle fibers to activate. One day, at the end of a workout, try dropping about 20%, go to failure, then drop another 20% and go to failure, then one more time (if muscles are too exhausted at least get a couple of negatives)

the only reason why i would never try this is because, doing a high amount of weight and very low reps is hard on ur nervous system, doing it for 5 different movements 5 times at 3 reps probably kills it.

Your CNS is just as capable of adapting to a style of training as any other part of your body. If this would be tough on your CNS, maybe you need to work on bringing up your workout volume/density.

Transition to a more demanding movement on which you must use a much lighter load (Front Squats). Using the Pin Squats first will make the Front Squats feel lighter.

Transition to an easier movement and either maintain the load or increase is slightly, depending upon your training capacity (Back Squats). You descending a ladder of difficulty as the set progresses, and you'll be winded now but the squats should still be easier than the front squats you just did.

Finish off with an even easier movement with smaller ROM (BB Hacks) and your quads will thank you.

The CNS is fine because in between each movement, even if your transitioning as fast as possible, you'll still have 10-15sec of lag time. Additionally, you're not using maximal load - only 2-3reps with a 5RM.
